Chapter 19
Regardless of where he goes anyway, it will not take long for him to hit the bucket.
Xi Ma who also have heard Gao Lan Mei said, "I will give you an incense of time. If there are no walnuts with poison, we end the agreement." They do not have all day. Prince Wei Jiayi is still on the third floor waiting for him.
"That's enough time." Gao Lan Mei responded without any expression, which made Xi Ma a little irritated.
Grinding his teeth, "Then have him start soon. What is he still waiting for?" Xi Ma asked but has not received a response.
Gao Chu is very nervous. She has already chanted multiple Buddha scriptures for protection and good luck and is continuing to do so.
"Amitabha… Buddha, please help us… Please protect us…" Closing her eyes, she continued to chant.
Gao Chu is hoping that there will be no incident like the last time where the young miss experienced an accident.
The memory is still fresh and she does not want to experience that again!
While everyone is waiting, "What's going on?" Xi Ma asked. He was expecting for the old mute beggar
When Gao Lan Mei asked the old mute beggar to stay away from the scattered walnuts, he was already confused.
While waiting for the old mute beggar's next action, crows after crows approached the scattered walnuts and started eating them!
"Look! What is that?!" Someone exclaimed from the crowd. Everyone looked at where the man was pointing at.
To everyone's surprise, in the sky, above Mount Hua, a ma.s.s of black is forming. It is getting bigger and bigger and it seems like it's gradually moving forward.
"Heavens! What is that thing?!" Another one from the crowd said.
The large ma.s.s of black moving to a certain direction, fast! It also looks like it's heading to the Medical Pavilions direction!
....
On the third floor of the Medical Pavilion.
Prince Wei Jiayi was still trying to feed his pet crow. The crow was initially injured but was nursed back to health before it became his pet.
While preparing another batch of herbs for his crow, Meme, to eat, "Caw! Caw!" The crow started to act strangely.
It was trying to scratch and bite its cage. It seems like it has the intention to escape.
Wei Jiayi frowned while watching Meme's strange behavior but did not do anything aside from observing it further.
The longer he observes, the more hostile the crow becomes. It was ruthlessly attacking the cage from within, forcing a way out.
"Caw! Caw!" The sound is starting to irritate Wei Jiayi. With a snap of his fingers, the cage opened and as soon as it does, the crow immediately flew outside.
He went to the window to follow it and tried to find where the crow went.
Instead of finding his pet crow, he found the black ma.s.s in the sky forming on top of Mount Hua.
The black ma.s.s is moving forward and is still getting bigger and bigger. It seems like it was heading to his direction. Specifically towards his Medical Pavilion!
Putting his guard up, he headed near the black ma.s.s. The closer he got, the more surprised he was.
